At what stage of the project should APESA be contacted?

We intervene at different stages of your project: from the upstream R&D phase, through to proof of concept and operation.

Do you provide support through to operation?

Yes, with monitoring analyses and training.

Are services eligible for the CIR?

Our R&D services may be eligible for the Research Tax Credit.

Can APESA design specific experimental devices?

Yes, APESA designs and assembles custom reactors adapted to project needs.

Bioresource Valorization | APESA Bioprocess Expert

Specialists in biological processes for waste, biomass, and effluent valorization for over 20 years, APESA studies, tests, and participates in the development of solutions adapted to sector needs: technically reliable, economically viable, and compatible with environmental challenges. APESA relies on its 1,000 m² experimental platform bringing together laboratories, multi-scale pilots, and state-of-the-art analytical tools to offer analyses and testing, studies, training, and R&D.

Cross-cutting approaches

From laboratory scale to industrial scale

We offer scale-up, from bench-scale analyses of a few milliliters, to pilot scale, then to pre-industrial scale, in order to progressively address increasingly complex and field-representative conditions.

From input characterization to by-product valorization

Our expertise covers all components of the process: from the characterization of biomasses, resource deposits, and inputs, through process study, to the study of by-product valorization and quality.

From project emergence phase to operating phase

Whatever the maturity level of the project, from idea to operation, APESA adapts to your context and challenges for tailored responses.
Emergence phase: monitoring, applied R&D, design assistance, training.
Validation phase: analyses, proof of concept, pilot-scale validations, studies.
Operating phase: operational support, analyses, audits, training.

Did you know?

APESA relies on an experimental platform of over 1,000 m². Our experimental and analytical laboratories offer a set of state-of-the-art equipment and pilots enabling the study and simulation of various bioprocesses for waste, biomass, and effluent treatment and valorization, from laboratory scale to semi-industrial scale.

Why call on us?

Do you wish to validate the sizing of a project? Develop a new technology? Study a new resource deposit?

A poorly sized project can lead to significant cost overruns. Securing technical choices and investments is critical.
Many organizations face concrete challenges:

Technical uncertainties about process feasibility or performance that complicate the transition from idea to proven concept

Need for objective evidence to convince partners, funders, or authorities

Verify and provide assurance on process operation and on the quality and valorization of output products (digestates, composts, biomasses…)
